Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 604: The Demon Emperor, the Back-Stabber

Everyone said the Demon Emperor was savage, unreasoning, decisive in killing, and utterly brutal. But who would have imagined that, upon reincarnation, the Demon Emperor would not only change in appearance but also in personality?

She actually began to reason.

The White Emperor sighed, "You've changed a lot."

Tsk! Guang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. Recalling her senior brother's teachings, she said with poise, "In this world, not everyone can fend solely for themselves, so... we should learn to be tolerant, humble, and yielding. We should treat others with kindness and love, to inspire a change in the ugliness of this world. After all, everyone has family."

??? The White Emperor was somewhat baffled.

"If it really becomes unbearable, utterly unbearable, then eradicate them root and stem. This is known as 'courtesy before force,'" Guang Xiaoyu asserted confidently.

Ohhh? The White Emperor, who had been tense, relaxed a bit. The Demon Emperor is still the Demon Emperor. She felt reassured after hearing the latter part.

Yet? Courtesy before force?

The White Emperor was amazed. "So, that just now was? If I had refused you, would you have attacked directly?"

Guang Xiaoyu nodded. "Sweep through Monster Emperor City, raze the Southern Region lands, and slaughter every member of the Demon Race."

The White Emperor: "..."

Fuck! I take back what I thought just now.

The White Emperor frowned, waved a large hand, and took out half an incense stick. "All right, you can go now!"

"We're friends who haven't seen each other in years, and you won't even treat me to a meal? We've barely chatted, and you're already rushing me away?" Guang Xiaoyu asked with a sidelong glance.

"Leaving or not?" The White Emperor glared at her.

"Right, I still have one more thing," Guang Xiaoyu said with a smile, unceremoniously taking the half an incense stick. She continued, "I'm going to kill that old guy in the Northern Border. Do you want to come?"

"Scram..."

Truly shameless. It's bad enough that a demon cultivator comes to my territory to threaten me, but she even wants me to help kill the Northern Demon Emperor? Is that something a decent person would do? Although I'm not on good terms with the Northern Demon Emperor, we are still of the Demon Race!

However? Guang Xiaoyu's words did pique the White Emperor's curiosity.

She stared intently at Guang Xiaoyu. "Have you undergone Tao Verification?"

At most Saint Realm. With such a cultivation level, she dares to kill the Northern Demon Emperor? Isn't this seeking death? Wait... She's just in the Saint Realm and dares to threaten me?

The White Emperor's face darkened. "I'll give you one minute to leave, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Guang Xiaoyu shrugged indifferently and slowly rose to her feet. "You wouldn't dare!"

"..."

Indeed. The White Emperor didn't dare. Her earlier hesitation was due to not knowing the extent of Guang Xiaoyu's power; her current hesitation was because of the Immortality Realm.

"Woman, one day, you will be proud of this decision," Guang Xiaoyu said with a smile, stepping away gradually.

It should be known that the Immortality Realm is just one of my assets. The person who gave me the Immortality Realm is truly formidable. Hmph, Senior Brother has always been incredible. And then there's my elusive Master, a true magnate; even after living for a hundred thousand years, I wouldn't dare act out of line in front of Wen Yuqing! The genuine royal bloodline of the Wen Dynasty. The more one understands history, the more terrifying this lineage appears.

The odd duo drifted farther away...

Li Qi exhaled a heavy breath, sighing with relief. "Xiao Yu, that was terrifying just now. The White Emperor almost made a move."

"She wouldn't dare!" Guang Xiaoyu affirmed. "Everything about this woman is fine, except that she's naturally suspicious. Until I fully reveal my hand, she definitely won't make a move."

"Why?"

"This is her territory, the hinterland of the Southern Region. There are at least several hundred thousand, if not millions, of the Demon Race living here. If she didn't kill me right away..." Guang Xiaoyu chuckled. "Li Qi, my boy, you must remember: when you face an unbeatable enemy, you must make good use of everything at your disposal."

"Such as?"

"Invoke the name of your Master. Scare them to death."

"What if my Master's name doesn't work?"

"Then invoke your Grandmaster's name," Guang Xiaoyu said, striding forward with her head held high.

She had reason to believe that the name Wen Yuqing was powerful enough to deter most forces in the Nine Heavens, including the formidable Loose Cultivators and others. That was the source of her confidence, allowing her to enter Monster Emperor City without fear.

「In the depths, a pavilion.」

The White Emperor let out a deep sigh. "This woman has changed."

A noblewoman stepped forward. "The Demon Emperor wants to kill the Northern Demon Emperor. Could it be she has an association with those Human Clan people?"

"You're only guessing now?" The White Emperor lifted her head. "She has become rational and is very certain I dare not act against her. Furthermore, she's even more certain she will get that half an incense stick, even if I don't want to give it."

"That scroll just now was?"

"The Immortality Realm of the Wen Dynasty. Do you think I can refuse?" said the White Emperor with profound frustration.

Obtaining a promise was one thing. The Demon Emperor holding the Immortality Realm while entering Monster Emperor City was what was truly terrifying. She thought of many things.

"There's a guy in the Wuji Sect named Chen Pingping who killed the son of the Northern Demon Emperor. If the Northern Demon Emperor is resurrected, he will surely be enraged. For the Demon Emperor to come to me for half an incense stick at this time... her intent is very clear," the White Emperor whispered. "Keep a close watch on Xia'er during this period. Don't let her go out."

"Yes!"

"Additionally, my eyelids have been twitching persistently. Go find out if anything has happened recently in Monster Emperor City," the White Emperor instructed.

The noblewoman turned and left.

Seven or eight minutes later, she returned, her face rather pale, and her voice trembled subtly as she spoke, "Lord White Emperor, the young lady, she..."

???

The White Emperor shot up abruptly, her face ashen. "The young lady ran off with someone?"

Run off with someone? Who? She had an ominous hunch.

If Yue Wuxia had sneaked out on a normal day, that would be one thing; she could go with anyone. But now... absolutely not. The Northern Demon Emperor was on the verge of resurrection, and a terrible slaughter between the Human Clan and the Northern Border was imminent. When that time came, the flames of war would spread, very likely affecting the Southern Region as well.

Secondly, she had just praised Yue Wuxia in front of the Demon Emperor, commenting on her quiet, gentle, and sensible nature. Her running off now would be an outright slap in the face, wouldn't it?

Of course, most crucially, Yue Wuxia constantly mentioned Chen Pingping, which made the White Emperor very uneasy.

Running off is one thing, but she must not go looking for Chen Pingping. The Demon Emperor and Chen Pingping have a connection too...

"Quick, stop her!" the White Emperor exclaimed desperately.

The noblewoman turned around.

"Wait..." the White Emperor spoke. "Did you see my Emperor Weapon?"

Eh?

It's over. She knew her daughter too well. Every time Yue Wuxia sneaked out, she would bring the Emperor Weapon. It was for this very reason the White Emperor didn't carry the Emperor Weapon herself, fearing Yue Wuxia might encounter danger when she ran off.

The White Emperor was numb. "Come back first. Don't alert anyone. You secretly bring her back... Ah, never mind, I'll go."

The noblewoman nodded, feeling helpless as well. Who could have expected the Demon Emperor to show up at this precise moment?

The White Emperor suddenly realized something. I suspect the Demon Emperor did it on purpose. The Demon Emperor knows Chen Pingping. Therefore, she came to restrain me, allowing Chen Pingping to sneak Yue Wuxia away secretly. Good, very good. The mighty Demon Emperor has turned into a back-stabber... She must have done it deliberately—to take Xia'er and force me to act! The White Emperor was grinding her teeth, on the verge of spitting blood.
